To the Editor of the Dispatch: Whew! what a cool spell we are having this week and also a white fro-t this morning. Don't think it harmed the fruit. I The health in our community is j excellent. Mr. John F. Spires, of Perry, is running Mr. J. C. Fort's turpentine farm around Pelion. Mr. Spires is a hustling turpentine man. Mr. Charley Sbumpert and his mother have been visiting friends and relatives in Columbia. The liar is abroad in the land trying to deceive and sooner or later he will be brought to the bar of justice to receive due rewards. Let me tell these agents that if they don't want to get insulted they had better not fool with the farmers when it is a good time to work. The woodman's ax has about ceased in the forest and you can now hear the sound of the hackman and pullerman now-a-days turpentining. Corn planting is now a thing of the past with us and our cotton patches are receiving attention. We learn that Rev. Yarborough will preach at Pelion some time in next month. He is a good preacher. Mr. Editor, the dogwood is in full bloom. Come down and let's invade some of those deep dark holes in Black creek. I don't think that North Edisto is much better for fish than this creek. I and another person enjoyed catching ten the other night and they were good averaged pound cats, and we caught them in less time than an hour. If we had stayed till midnight no telling what the result would have been. It's not necesBay to wait until April to find fools for we can see tbem any time. There was to have been a little trial at Pelion last Saturday. Alton Boe, colored, indicted Will HigginB, also colored, for carrying an unlawful pistol. The trial was moved to Swansea. Senator Sharpe appeared for Higgins and Mr. Busby of AikeD, for Boe. Mr. A. M. Hutto, who has been with Mr. D. F. Shumpert, but who has lately resigned, can now be found behind the counter at Mr. D. B Sphaler's. Madieon is a jolly good fellow and bis friends will follow him. Tbe owl will soon begin to hoot rAPP COMPANY, EERY BROTHERS, COLUMBIA, S. .C oods. Our business is growing.

C, and we'll bear the whippoorwill's song, while we hear the sweet jingle of the weddiDg bells. Oh! what delightful notes the mockiDg birds sing, as much as to cheer the farmers to work and be blessed. WoodmaD, spare that tree and I'll protect it now. We now live where we I can hear the sound of the thundering locomotive and nearly the roar of the grim aligator. Thp small crrain croo is still very 0 r ? uncertain. The ball bats have made their appearance and it is said that it is a token that the cold weather is done for this season. There was a cake walk and an egg picking at the home of Mr. J. E. Dunbar's a Saturday night recently, which was enpyed by the young folks. The lucky ones to win the cake were Mr. Youman Senn with Miss Minnie Dunbar, Mr. Joel Gunter with Miss Hattie Smith. How we did feast on that beautiful sweet cake and eggs. Bright and early next morning, after God's green earth had been refreshed by a good raio, we assembled at Smith Branch to our Sunday school, and to renew picking eggs. About the time Sunday school closed we were house bound by a heavy rain The egg battle resulted in Mr. Simon Luces' holding the champion egg. My. how beautiful and sweet, the rose bushes are where the pretty girls stay. Boys why don't you marry; why live alone; have you no girl; have you no home?

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Since a few weeks absence from the columns of the Dispatch, I can find a few items for its readers. The health of this community is very good at present. The farmers of this section are busy planting cotton, as it is about the 20th of the month. The grain crop of this section is very badly injured on account of insects. Mr. Silas Cromer, of Columbia,. visited bis parents Sunday. Miss Ethel Matbias, of New Brookland, is visiting ber cousin.. Miss Mary Sox. There was a very large crowd at St. David's church last Sunday oe account of it being communion meeting and also Easter Sunday. Mr. D. P. Roof, of Columbia, visited bis parents Sunday.

The young folks of this neighborhood enjoyed a very nice singing on Easter Sunday afternoon, which was held at Mr. E. G. Sox's. Well boys, what has become of your debate? I saw in the columns of the Dispatch some few weeks ago that probably some of you would become great men in the future, but I think you have got a sly way showing it. Guess you are practicing on the sly arid are going to give us the biggest debate ever held in Oak Grove school house.
